FootballSince I posted this morning, two more players have committed to Akron.One is Troy Gilmer, who I mentioned in the post immediately below.

The other is...
Maurice Harvey,
safety, Reedley C.C. (Calif.)
Offers: Akron and Nebraska
Height: 6-foot-3
Weight: 195
Speed: Not listed
Notes: Rivals.com gives Harvey three stars. This quote from a Rivals story fascinated me: "Harvey said that Cal-Berkeley, Kansas State, and Oregon are 'about it' in paying attention to him other than the Huskers." Other schools of interest included Florida Atlantic, Florida International, Nevada, South Florida, Syracuse, West Virginia, California, Clemson and Florida State.

Akron has 22 verbal commitments so far, with three scholarships left to give out. The targeted positions include a high school receiver and another cornerback. Harvey is one of the highlights in this class, according to a source with the team.
Here is a list combined from Rivals.com,
Scout.com, and
ZipsNation.org'sCaptain Kangaroo.
